When you mention Gettysburg and haunted places you are going to have a long list of things to discuss. One of the places near Gettysburg that has been discussed as haunted is The Cashtown Inn.

The inn was built circa 1797 and was a stagecoach stop. The name “Cashtown” was coined because the first innkeeper was a man by the name of Peter Marck who insisted on cash payments. We imagine he never saw a “priceless” Mastercard commercial.

Since the inn was just eight miles from the battlefield, the area was turned into an armed camp for the rebels. The inn itself served as the Confederate headquarters for General A.P. Hill.

The claims of hauntings include a Confederate soldier, who sometimes knocks on the door of room #4. The soldier also appeared in a photograph taken of the inn around 1900. Another haunting is of the “lady in white” who hangs out in the upper floor.

Also guests at the inn have reported hearing children playing and the sounds of boot steps. People have reported being touched while in bed, seeing faces in photographs of windows and smelling cigars. Hopefully it’s not the children smoking cigars.

In March 2008 the Ghost Hunters aired their investigation of the Cashtown Inn.
